Differences Between Apple Juice and Apple Juice Concentrates
Never from Concentrate
Pressed apples
- Pressing occurs at ambient temperature and allows to keep benefit of the apple fruit and active components (enzyme, tannins, fibers.)
- Make the juice ready for fermentation without adding anything in it but taking advantage of the natural flora (yeast.) coming with the apples.
Apple juice from concentrate
- Process of removing water to concentrate the juice is usually done at high temperature.
- As a result, the high heat will kill the natural flora (yeast) and nutrients (enzyme, antioxidant for example).
- Thus, to restart the fermentation process, there will be a need to add external yeast and nutrients.
- Concentration process lowers the availability of bioactive compounds (enzyme, tannins).
